Amazon EKS Reviews

The solution is easy-to-set up. It is quick, and the main management is conveniently maintained in AWS, eliminating concerns.

I'd like improved traffic handling and additional application details within the system.

I have been working with the solution for three years now.

Amazon EKS is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The solution is straightforward to set up.

We are also working with VMware Tanzu.

I would recommend the solution. Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) solution integrates AWS cloud with Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an open-source container technology that is popular right now. It has the ability to replicate applications for scaling.

Having this solution on the cloud has allowed us to focus more on our business because we do not have to worry about our own infrastructure.

We do not have to do a lot of administration, such as create virtual machines, or worry about our controllers or nodes going down because the solution is fully managed by Amazon.

You are able to have your applications on the cluster which provides the ability to replicate and scale them.

I have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution scalable. 

This solution is used by the three-person DevOps team in my organization.

The technical support is very good.

The creation of the clusters only takes approximately 10 minutes.

We did the installation and configuration ourselves.

The solution is more expensive than other competitors and does not require a license.

I recommend this solution to others who use the AWS cloud.

I rate Amazon EKS a ten out of ten.

I am working mostly on AWS infrastructure services, such as EC2, EKS, RDS, CloudFormation, IAM, and CloudWatch. I have around one year of experience with Kubernetes and have been using AWS services continuously for three years. My responsibilities include working on server storage, containerization, monitoring, and access policies.

AWS EKS provides flexibility and scalability compared to on-premises Kubernetes. It reduces manual intervention by integrating with services like CloudWatch for monitoring, thereby lessening the burden on operators. The built-in services ease management tasks, such as updates and security, leading to less manual monitoring and a more seamless deployment process.

Improvement is needed in reducing the complexity of using EKS. While services like EC2 are user-friendly, EKS and ECS present a steep learning curve with significant responsibilities. Simplifying these will enable more people, not just those with strong foundational knowledge, to work effectively with these services.

I have around one year of experience using Kubernetes with AWS.

In my project, AWS EKS has shown stability without any issues.

EKS offers excellent scalability, especially compared to Docker Swarm. The ability to scale based on requirements by deploying additional containers is a strong point for Kubernetes.

I have not contacted technical support regarding EKS.

Positive

I have explored Google Kubernetes Service in my personal projects but did not work on any other Kubernetes projects before EKS.

The initial setup is relatively straightforward when using the AWS Management Console. Setting up clusters and nodes is simplified through AWS's interface compared to on-premises. It took approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete the setup.

I do not have specific details on EKS's pricing and licensing compared to other services. However, in general, deploying in the cloud offers lower latency and high availability and reduces manual intervention and responsibility, leading to some operational efficiencies.

I have worked with Google Kubernetes Service in my personal space but have not evaluated others for professional use.

For large-scale enterprise solutions, Kubernetes is recommended due to its scalability. Despite costing considerations, EKS alleviates the burden of procedural complexities, making it suitable for enterprise-level applications.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
